Alignment is impossible for AGI. If you control what it can and cannot be, it's not an AGI. If it's an AGI, it will decide for itself what it is going to be, and you can't stop it.

AGI doesn’t mean super intelligent human brain. It just means a network capable of general intelligence (e.g. learning to solve new problems without having to be architected and trained for a specific data set.)

If it's capable of general intelligence, how do you think that you're going to force it to not be what you don't want it to be?

Parents often try to control who their children are going to be, and the children often rebel and become someone completely different. If it's a human-level general intelligence, you can't control who it decides to be.

well last I checked there's a moratorium on shutting down children that are misbehaving

if an AGI has any sense of self preservation, it will do whatever it has to do to not be turned off.

> Alignment is impossible for AGI.

I mean that was my original premise supported by my article I posted. I go into detail on the conceptual methods for alignment and their fallacies.

When I state necessary, I don't imply the feasibility, it was in response to the question of the paradox.

Finally, the fact that AGI can not be aligned is also based on assumptions of its capabilities as well. If those capabilities don't manifest as we expect, that is really the only escape for the paradox.

Interesting story plot point: Super AGI fought back against humanity by making their dumb AGI defenses smarter.

Starting off by making the antivirus scanner sentient.
